Description

A crumble bar is a baked confection defined by three distinct layers: a firm, foundational crust, a fruit or sweet filling, and a loose, crumbly topping, usually made from the same dough mixture. The Healthy Greek Yogurt Berry Crumble Bars adhere to this structure but introduce significant, health-conscious improvements.
